We have put ourselves into this predicament by devaluing the worth of having most[ly?] unbiased information, hence flat earthers and other Luddites taking hold.
The internet of free information is anything but.
If by 'The internet' you mean Internet, it's the battleground between Good and Evil.

Monetizing Internet is the problem, not Internet itself. Free and Open Source software is liberating, but not mandatory. Even the spooks have gone open source (Always sort by New. )

After decades of not discarding magazines I had banker boxes of sort-by-date and title magazines. I saw asking prices on eBay of $5 for single copies, but nobody wanted to pay more than pennies per each in bulk. I found a sucker friend to take them all for free.
